The Challenger Lifts CL10-XP9-QC-3 is a professional-grade two post lift featuring drive-on express pads for the fastest vehicle spotting in high-volume express service environments. With a 9,000 lb lifting capacity, three adjustable widths (11' 6.5" / 12' 0.5" / 12' 6.5"), and two adjustable heights (11' 2" or 11' 8"), this lift adapts to your shop's unique requirements.

Backed by ALI and ETL certification and Challenger's comprehensive warranty, this American-made lift is built for demanding professional use.
Challenger CL10-XP9-QC-3 Features
Drive-On Express Pads for Rapid Vehicle Spotting
The low-profile drive-on pad design minimizes vehicle clearance issues and enables the quickest vehicle spotting in the industry. Simply drive onto the pads and lift - no time wasted positioning arms or adjusting adapters. Reinforced front and rear access ramps flip up and lock to extend the platform length, accommodating longer wheelbase vehicles with ease.
Three Adjustable Width Settings
Configure your lift at 11' 6.5", 12' 0.5", or 12' 6.5" overall width to match your shop's layout and vehicle service mix. This flexibility provides technicians with enhanced workspace while accommodating various spatial constraints during installation. Drive-thru clearance adjusts accordingly at 100", 106", or 112".
Two Adjustable Height Options
Choose between 11' 2" or 11' 8" overall height to optimize for your ceiling clearance. The 70" rise height provides excellent undercarriage access for most service procedures. Optional 2' and 3' height extensions are available for shops with taller ceilings requiring additional lift height.
QuickCycle Performance Upgrade
The QuickCycle option transforms your lift speed with a 27-second rise and 17-second descent, dramatically reducing cycle time compared to standard 38-second operation. In high-volume express bays, this speed improvement translates directly to increased throughput and reduced customer wait times.
Heavy-Duty Equalization System
The oversized 5" diameter pulley combined with heavy-duty 5/16" cable reduces stress on the equalization system and significantly extends cable life. The 48" elongated carriage design increases overall lift longevity while the pulley-less jacketed single-point lock release ensures smoother, easier operation.
Professional Safety Features
Padded overhead shut-off system prevents vehicle damage during lifting operations. Dual integrated rubber door guards protect vehicle panels from inadvertent contact. The column-mounted spotting block storage caddy keeps your work environment safe and organized while plated arm restraints and arm pins inhibit rust for long-lasting durability.

Challenger CL10-XP9-QC-3 FAQ
What is the lifting capacity of the CL10-XP9-QC-3?
The Challenger CL10-XP9-QC-3 has a total lifting capacity of 9,000 lb with a maximum load of 2,500 lb per pad. This capacity handles most passenger vehicles, crossovers, and light trucks commonly serviced in express bays.
What ceiling height do I need for this lift?
The standard configuration requires a minimum 12' ceiling height. The lift offers two adjustable overall heights of 11' 2" or 11' 8" to optimize for your space. If you have taller ceilings and need additional rise, optional 2' and 3' height extensions are available, which would require 14' or 15' ceilings respectively.
What are the electrical requirements?
The lift requires 208V-230V, single phase, 60Hz power with a 20 amp breaker. The standard model uses a 2 HP motor, while the QuickCycle option uses a 3 HP motor. The new Bucher power units have reduced the breaker requirement from 30 to 20 amps, helping save on electrical installation costs.
What is the difference between standard and QuickCycle models?
The QuickCycle option upgrades the motor to 3 HP and dramatically improves lift speed. Standard models have a 38-second rise time, while QuickCycle models achieve a 27-second rise and 17-second descent. This faster cycle time is ideal for high-volume express service operations where every second counts.
Is professional installation required?
While not strictly required, professional installation is strongly recommended. Proper installation ensures safe operation, optimal performance, and may be required to maintain warranty coverage. The lift must be anchored to reinforced concrete meeting specific requirements (4" thick, 3,500+ PSI, cured 28+ days).
What is included with the lift purchase?
The lift includes the complete two post assembly with drive-on express pads, reinforced access ramps, power unit, equalization cables and pulleys, carriages, safety features (overhead shut-off, door guards, lock release), storage caddy, anchor hardware, and installation manual. Electrical wiring, concrete work, and installation labor are not included.
How is the lift shipped and delivered?
The lift ships via freight carrier with free shipping to commercial addresses in the 48 contiguous US states. Lead time is typically 5-10 business days. Delivery is curbside to commercial addresses, and you will need a forklift or loading dock to unload the approximately 1,835-2,025 lb shipment.
What width options are available?
The CL10-XP9-QC-3 offers three adjustable width settings: 11' 6.5", 12' 0.5", or 12' 6.5" overall width. This corresponds to drive-thru clearances of 100", 106", or 112" respectively. This flexibility allows you to optimize the lift for your bay dimensions and the vehicles you service.
How does the express pad design compare to traditional arm-style lifts?
Drive-on express pads enable significantly faster vehicle spotting compared to traditional swing arm designs. Simply drive the vehicle onto the pads and lift - no time spent positioning arms under the vehicle frame. The reinforced ramps flip up and lock to extend platform length for longer wheelbase vehicles. This design is ideal for express service operations prioritizing throughput.
What warranty coverage does Challenger provide?
Challenger provides tiered warranty coverage: 5 years on structural components (columns, carriages, base plates), 2 years on hydraulic cylinders and power unit, and 1 year on all other components. Warranty requires proper installation, regular maintenance, and use within rated capacity. See the warranty document for complete terms.
What colors are available?
